y Arts Fair in East Tennessee, and is home to some of the best in arts and crafts - ranging from sculpture and paintings, to pottery and hand-woven baskets to metal art and jewelry, plus woodworking, furniture, folk art, and more. Each year more than 100 artisans share their creativity and talents with us through their products and demonstrations, while there are more than 20 food vendors (texas taters and funnel cakes are just a few of the favorites), plus two days packed full of entertainment for the whole family. All exhibitors and vendors are chosen by committee to ensure quality. The Fair was established in 1977 by the late Frank W. McDonald to help preserve the historic mill. He and his cousin Clyde Ketner introduced a new generation to Ketner's Mill.

The fall festival will continue each year… however, it is with regret that we announce that Ketner Mill will officially be closed to the public effective immediately.
We have enjoyed allowing members of our community to visit and enjoy the property at no cost. Unfortunately, we have recently begun receiving correspondence from attorneys representing individuals pursuing personal injury claims related to incidents that occurred on the property during recreational visits.
While we have always been happy to share this special place with others, the increasing legal risks, stress, and potential liability associated with public access have made it necessary for us to make this difficult decision.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who has respected and enjoyed Ketner Mill. However, in order to protect our family, our property, and our future, the mill and surrounding areas will now be closed to public access.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
